I'm a bit down tonight.
Just had an arguments with my parents and my grandpa about my college career, my current job and what will come next in my work life - I always come out as the thoughtless dreamer I'm not.
As I told 'em, his week ends my first month at the new job and I'm afraid I'm not as much motivated as I should be
I've spent three weeks working at the cash desk, which is far from being exciting but at least gave me something to concentrate on: as you might have noticed, I'm not on very good terms with numbers and counts (minus clothes says it all!), plus dealing with clients' money scared the hell out of me, so I had to learn a lot of different procedures in order to have everything under my control.
Now, I'm ending my time at the check desk and I've been assigned to another occupation in the store: today I've started learning how the warehouse works, and how the goods must fit the store.
It's physically tiring: I'm always moving heavy weights with the fork lift and putting things on the shelfs, from 6 a.m. in the morning.
Honestly, it's not the kind of work I was thinking about when I graduated, last May... but everybody keeps telling me how lucky I am I got a job which is not a "real job", but a sort of training which give me the opportunity to reach higher roles in the company, learning from the base.
You know what I think? It's a smart way to make me and other nine guys work their ass off 40 hrs for week and pay them less than the other employees 'cause they're "training" - while we obviously we're starting to work just as the other people in the store do.
Don't get me wrong, the people I work with are awesome and friendly, and they have nothing to do with how the company manages to treat their trainees. Also, I'm not sure it's company's fault as well: we live in a sick world where new forms of slavery are socially accepted and run everyday.
It's the global mind-set that should be changed.
I still sound like the thoughtless dreamer my mom complains about, eh?
How was your first impact with "a real job"? What do you think about it, now?

Working has forced me and my boyfriend into a more regular lifestyle, which is not bad at all: we've started to enjoy spending our evenings cooking, watching a movie and drinking a glass of wine on the couch.
Yep, even naked:

Sometimes, he brings me special gifts that make me even happier:

EHEH

On the modeling side, yesterday I got back on set after a month of complete stop. I've been pleasantly surprised to discover nothing has changed and I'm always the same in front of the camera: I had my fun and the photographer had his super-duper-pictures
Today, another guy I've worked with several times has told me one of our picture is exposed in Florence, in an exhibition about digital art:

I love art exhibitions and I'm always so proud of getting my face in those places. Here's the pic, it was taken with an iPhone on the backstage of a videoclip we shot last August (and which I hope to show you soon!):


*YAWN* I'm gonna crush on my bed now.
I'll keep you updated and post something naughty soon, I promise.
